Following an incident of severe turbulence aboard a flight from Phoenix to Hawaii in which 36 people were hurt, some media outlets published misleading reports claiming that turbulence is now more dangerous because of climate change.
Yahoo News issued an article with the headline ‘How climate change may have contributed to Hawaiian Airlines’ dramatic turbulence‘, and CBS News produced a piece claiming climate change has made turbulence more deadly.
Airplane turbulence might be getting more common — a union representing flight attendants is warning — thanks to climate change. https://t.co/fIBiKQl1cK

As detailed in the above report, the source for articles was one Taylor Garland, spokesperson for the Association of Flight Attendants, who claimed turbulence caused by severe weather is going to become more common due to climate change.
There is, of course, no actual data to support that statement… from a flight attendant.
You are not a serious news source if you push things like this.

So airplanes are making the sky unsafe for airplanes due to the climate change they are contributing to?

That’s called weather.

It was down to “thanks to the unvaccinated,” “thanks to climate change,” or “thanks to white supremacy.”
